Roberts's odyssey with the painted photograph began in the mid-1970s. She found that in painting over a slick photographic surface, she was able to manipulate the paint by scraping it, scratching it and wiping it away with the luxury of never losing the underlying image. A modern pioneer of the method, Roberts brings the technique to a study of the emotions and psyche of the human condition. The combination results in a deeply resonant image-making, both haunting and profound.
